Sketchup Unity and Blender

I susspect that many people asked this:

  1. How to export sketchup 8 model with collada into Unity. To simplefy i get error that it cannot load the model
    the next time i did simular procidure and then unity tells me i need maya installed. Can anyone tell me how to import this model properly? Either tell me how to do it or if possible convert it to some other file that unity can load with no errors.
  2. I tried to import this model in blender 2.5 but some times it loads not entire model but some of it. At other times it dose not import anything at all.
  3. Details: I have sketchup 8 free becose i cannot pay for pro or any other program that must be paid becose i am in Croatia and we dont even have paypal. Thank you in advance with respect:

Hi!
I had a bad experience with it too.

Try to export from sketchup to blender first (as collada) and then export from blender to Unity as FBX.
It should work.

Hello,

In case blender doesn’t work as a good converter (it doesn’t for me), download an fbx converter here and convert collada into fbx and then import fbx in unity, as it is natively supported.
